There's more to life than thread

Just so's you don't think I spend all my time with a needle in my hand, here's a pic of a leather jerkin and hat I made a wee while ago. The patterns are from a book by Janet Arnold 'Patterns of Fashion . . .c1560-1620' - it's fascinating. There's history, photos of actual garments, and (best of all) patterns taken from the clothes. I've just got her new book 'Patterns of Fashion 4' with ruffs, shirts and more. Ruffs in 1:12? There's a challenge!

About Me

Allo! I'm Glenda, I've been making 12th-scale miniatures for a couple of years, and now returning to knitting after a 15-year gap. I loved it then and I love it now. Failures, successes - bring it on!
